Christmas Parade 
On
a beautiful, brisk December morning three Model T’s and two Model A’s
participated in the Annual Richardson Christmas Parade. Our club participation
is organized by Ted Dumas and he accepted the award and then passed it on to Mitch
Owen for “Best Decorated Vehicles” at the Christmas Dinner Meeting.
Now,
let’s mention that only one of the five vehicles actually had any type of
decoration, and should
not have been awarded. . . so I believe it was given not for the actual decorations,
but because we are such a great looking group!
This is a fun parade, the
crowd loves the cars and they yell questions to us: “What Year?”, “Do
you have a heater?”, “How fast can you go?” and then the endless
statements: “Look at the cute cars”, “Oh the RED ONE is sooooo
pretty”, but the best statement this year at the end of the parade, “Look
at the old fashion people!” Hope y’all can join us next year.

Dinner
Meeting and Annual Awards | Club
members once again enjoyed a wonderful dinner and entertainment at our December
Meeting, along with the installation of the 2007 Officers. A big THANK YOU to
this years hosts Renée and Terry who did a wonderful job. | | Dan
Gibson (photo left) provided the entertainment of “storytelling” including
one little ditty that included
our very own Wally. Who knew he had long black
curly locks and rode bareback on a horse. . .and then of course the Scotsman song.
Following
dinner President Tommy Griffin conducted a short business meeting which included
handing certificates to committee chairs thanking them for their service to the
club. |  | 
|
Highlight of these awards was the Outstanding Service Award presented to Hugo
Richter. Congratulations to Hugo pictured above at right.
Installation
of the 2007 Officers was conducted by Andy Anderson.

Men's
Night Out
Recap
& Photos by Mitch  |
Men’s
Night Out for December ’06 was hosted at the home of Drew & Amy W. Amy
whipped up some really delicious chili and other snacks, which we washed down
with some super cold Fat Tire beverages.
| 
| All
30 attendees got a good look at some of Drew’s projects and really cool antique
tools like his lathe, micrometer, wrenches, etc. Drew has a garage full of Model
T parts highly organized that would put Lang’s or Snyder's to shame. We even
caught our new President trying to abscond with a NOS oil re-direction axle spring
that didn’t quite fit in his shirt pocket. Nolan Renfro held center court
while telling some of his jokes, as he was explaining how many of Drew’s
parts & tools worked. |
